The writer, an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, writes a twice-weekly column for Arutz Sheva. He is the author of the book “A New Shoah”, that researched the personal stories of Israel’s terror victims, published by Encounter. His writing has appeared in publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, Frontpage and Commentary. He is at work on a book about the Vatican and Israel.
“I want to see the end of most of the settlements. I want to see land swaps”, declared Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz at the Project Nuremberg Lawyer’s Luncheon at Temple Beth El of Boca Raton.
The “pro Israel” mainstream, to which Mr. Dershowitz belongs, is a useful idiot, as Lenin used to call those gullible liberals who excused totalitarian enormities in the name of goodwill. Dershowitz, a very decent person and writer who goes all over giving speeches, including some new effort that one of the “Stand With Israel” groups has to train university students, has embraced the racist project of a new freeze of the “settlers”.
Recognizing the “settlers”, Judea and Samaria’s Jewish residents, for what they really are – heroes – is the most difficult endeavor for any observer of the Middle East conflict. And Dershowitz is a total failure on that.
These “pro Israel” useful idiots, with their talents and writing skills and their impeccable credentials, are seduced by how their influence is regarded. They literally fabricate the illusion that Israel can reach “peace” and conquer the international consensus by adopting their defeatist agenda. They want to be the nice and better Jews, they angelize Israel’s history, they want to be accepted by the chattering classes. Abraham Foxman has put it in this way: “How to support Israel while being critical”. Lenin could not have said it better.
